Siemens SINAMICS S120 Booksize Single Motor Module

The 6SL3120-1TE21-8AA3 is a Booksize Single Motor Module within the Siemens SINAMICS S120 drive system. It functions as an Active Infeed / Inverter Unit for directly controlling one servo motor or induction motor. The module communicates with the system controller (e.g., CU320-2) via the Drive-CLiQ interface to achieve high-performance servo or vector control. It is suitable for motion control applications demanding high dynamic response and precision, such as machine tools, printing presses, and packaging equipment.

Product Description

Detailed Description:

  • Core Function: Serves as the power section of the drive system, converting DC link voltage into AC voltage with variable frequency and amplitude to precisely control motor speed, torque, and position.

  • Modular & Compact Design: Features a standard booksize design with a width of 50 mm, enabling side-by-side high-density mounting to maximize control cabinet space utilization. Quick commissioning, module identification, and communication are facilitated via the integrated Drive-CLiQ interface.

  • High-Performance Control: Supports servo control and vector control, enabling high-precision closed-loop control. The module integrates a braking chopper, allowing direct connection of an external braking resistor to safely dissipate regenerative energy generated during motor braking or deceleration.

  • Safety Integration: Supports Safety Integrated (SI) extended safety functions (requires a compatible control unit and license), enabling safety features such as Safe Torque Off (STO) and Safe Stop (SS1/SS2) to meet relevant safety standards.

  • Communication & Diagnostics: Seamlessly integrates into the SINAMICS S120 system via the Drive-CLiQ interface and can support fieldbus communications like PROFIBUS and PROFINET through the superior control unit. It offers comprehensive status monitoring and fault diagnostics.

  • Typical Applications: Widely used in applications requiring high-performance single-axis drives, such as spindle drives, feed axis drives, winding equipment, and various high-precision positioning systems.
